Château de Nangis

The king Charles VII the Well-Served gave the domain to Denis de Chailly from Chailly-en-Bière as a reward for his help to Jeanne d'Arc.

When Armand de Brichanteau died in 1742, a distant cousin, the count of Guerchy, became the new marquis.

His son, Anne-Louis of Guerchy, the last marquis of Nangis, almost ruined, sold the castle to a Paris notary in 1795, who destroyed two of the three buildings, keeping only the left wing.

Six paintings in the marriage room are portraits that were classified as historical monuments despite the fact that the building itself is not.

The "Mémoire" picture base of the Ministère de la Culture comprises two photos taken around 1907-1909, one showing the front view and the other, an outer wall tower.
